Living On a Budget

You get your first job, and you're ready to move into an apartment and live on your own. How do you know what kind of life you can afford? Will you have enough money to make it in between paychecks? Let's see.

Here's a chance for you to see for yourself how to figure it out. And it's easy! You enter your choices, and we will do the math for you. You'll see how well you did at the end of this "financial work-out." And the good thing is that you can always go back and improve your choices after you've been through the experience once. Play around with the numbers until you get the budget where you want it.
